Hello, this is AtomVM Daily for the week of October twenty-sixth through November second, 2026.
This week: 24 pull request activity items, 0 additional commits this week.
The lead pattern is expansion outward and hardening inward. AtomVM gained major new ways to get on the network, while a parallel push fixed crashes and leaks that only show up on constrained hardware.
First, connectivity on the ESP32. PR 2419 adds wired Ethernet over the on-chip MAC with an R-M-I-I PHY, like the LAN 8720. Developers can now start Ethernet alongside Wi-Fi station or access point mode, set route priority and host name, and use matching waits for Ethernet and status calls. PR 2461, still open,…
Second, reliability and correctness on microcontrollers. PR 2340 fixes the week's most serious crash. Truncated or overflowing packed archives let the scanner walk into erased flash and take all-ones as a section size, crashing the virtual machine on lookup misses. It now enforces section bounds. PR 2431 fixes a…
Third, alignment with modern Erlang, Elixir, and security libraries. PR 2386 adds the generic server start functions needed by Elixir's GenServer. PR 2385 adds post-quantum M-L-K-E-M 768 encapsulation…
